I have the rear quarter scoops which are pretty straight forward on install but the door areo extensions has anyoe really used them? If so do you remove the factory areo moldings and bond to the door skin? And the front fender? If they are a pain and not very durable I may just leave them off like everyone else does.

Yes, you will need to remove your GT molding from the door and front fender. The area where the the extensions are going to be placed, needs to be roughed up for a good bond, as well.
Yep. The GT ground effects skirts. The door pieces are different. Basically you bond them on to the doors. I would say about 60% of people use them. The others leave the originals on.
One of the fellows in our club bonded his with urethane adhesive similar to what is used for whidshields. Apparently it remains somewhat flexible and adheres well to the door panels. His look great and I am going to dig into this a bit.
OK, I did a little investigation. The guys at the body shop supply store recommended that a urethane sealer/adhesive be used, the product that they have is:
Proform PF 224 and according to the tube it is:
- Recommended for applications that may be under stress and vibrations. - It's a high density urethane sealer that eliminates shrinking often found in solvent and rubber based sealers. It can also be used as an adhesive for metal, plastic and fiberglass. - Paintable in 30 minutes. - Also sandable.

Common issue that comes up every so often. Thats what always kept me from buying a set of them. Lucky I found a set on a car locally that I bought.

The Fiero Shop is run by an Aussie named Jim Davis (if I remember correctly). He is registered on Pennock's as "Ausfiero." I have not seen a post from him in a while but I doubt that he has abandoned the forum.
I purchased the Stage 2 scoops from him on e-Bay about three years ago. When they arrived (took about 2 months) one of them was badly warped. All I wanted was for him to replaced the damaged one, but he sent me a complete new set. I had to wait another three months for the replacement, he said he was in the middle of going to a new fiberglassing shop. I believe, from my experience that he is honest, but very slow (In his defense, he also said he was having some significant medical issues at the time). You need to be persistent in contacting him - try using his Ausfiero contact to PM him. Good luck!
BTW - I have installed mine and love how they look.

I have started to glass them on instead the adhesive didnt dry over night so i used some spirts to clean it up. I am using tape to hold them in place then i will glass them on.

Try clamps instead of tape. I used about 5 squeeze type clamps on each door while the epoxy was drying. You'll discover the door pieces are pretty straight and the door skins are not. Really hard to keep them in line without clamps.
